    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    It was too slow and never did anything. I like garg, but bombardment is much better imo in the same role.

    That card is such a gem, and I feel the exact same way about it. Criminally underplayed. Have to love it with memory lapse, and any of the tol tutors as well.

    That makes sense, its also much worse at controlling the board. Angler can pretty much just go over the top of most creatures it encounters, while mandrils finds itself in trading situations much more often. I also kind of think that green is just much worse at feeding velocity driven...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    I have no idea if goblin bushwhacker will ultimately make it in Eric's higher power format, but I will say that I hope that it does. It fills an important hole in the card record: a 2cc overrun effect attached to a creature. Most aggro buffs will run you 3cc+, don't come with a body, or will...

    I considered this as well, I think the only way its worthwhile is if you have a heavy graveyard theme. At this point mardu-woe reaper could act as a reasonable disruptive engine for an aggro deck. Otherwise I don't really see the payoff.

    If actually thought about doing this on more than on occastion. Some cube decks are so sweet I just want to preserve them and have multiple goes with them.

    Yeah, thats really interesting: I had the same experience with hooting mandrills. I'm really not sure why its inferior: if goyf is our point of reference for angler, wouldn't it apply even more so to mandrills?

    I completly understand why you would be sceptical: I was too. The best way I can describe it is that playing it feels like having a black goyf. Its the ability to produce a 5/5 body for almost nothing that is so great, and why its better than tombstalker (though I like tombstalker too)...

    Tasigur is great too. The problem with tombstalker is the double black. You can run angler or tasigur in control decks as a cheap finisher that lets you keep up a counterspell, you can run them in mid range decks as tempo efficent beaters that let you sequence multiple spells in a turn, and...

    Angler is a 1 mana 5/5. The card is great.

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Probably better to run two copies of goblin bombardment than bombardment/rusalka? Really hope bushwhacker is good enough.

    This is one of my favorite cube cards, and I think i'm probably the only one running it: Its a very powerful, but skill testing tutor. Great with terminus, thought scour, fetchlands, and delver of secrets; there is also probably some BUG deck out there waiting to run it with collected...

    Its because my response was a super nice way to try to turn the other cheek and end the discussion. Look at your original response: its rude and phrased in an elitest manner. There was no real way I could respond that wouldn't result in me basically saying "hey lucre maybe you should read the...

    I feel strongly that some drinking game should be involved in this as well.

    Just like the aether mutation you just posted, which is why both cards tend to be underplayed. Thankfully both cards have more text, which is why they are good candidates for a thread titled "black sheep."
